Here is the first public beta release, Beta 01 of the Samsung Motion Photo Extractor!

I have spent the entire week working on this and scraping some of it, to finally get a suitable release. Just run the Convert.bat file and follow the prompts. I will upload a video later. I have spent a lot of time working on this, this past week.

Yes you can manually do this is 10 seconds with a hex editor by opening your original Photo and searching for MotionPhoto_Data then select everything above MotionPhoto_Data and copy and paste it as a new file and save as a JPG. Do the same for the MPG BUT this time select every thing BELOW MotionPhoto_Data make sure for either one you are doing not to copy the MotionPhoto_Data text. Also the hex for the MotionPhoto_Data is 4D 6F 74 69 6F 6E 50 68 6F 74 6F 5F 44 61 74 61.

Technically the JPG ends at ÿÙ or FF D9 so the ÿÙ SHOULD be included too.
Technically You really want to delete all this "........Image_UTC_Data1458170015363SEFHe...........#...#.......SEFT..0.....MotionPhoto_Data"
But if you leave all this "........Image_UTC_Data1458170015363SEFHe...........#...#.......SEFT..0.....MotionPhoto_Data" in the end of the JPG you can easily merge them back together and have the display and play on your phone

Brilliant, thank you! Would be happy to pay for a good working version of this, and also happy to beta test if you need it.

 

[fabianfred]

Really looking forward to this.
I have some nice little action shots.

 

[goofwear]

I could upload a video on how to manually do this in under 10 seconds using only 1 program but would rather wait until I have a suitable "easy to use for every one" program to release. I.E. (fully automated) One click only

I already have a working version but its uses a couple programs and needs user intervention and is only partially automated.

I would love one!

In the mean time if any one wants me to extract "some" photos and videos you can pm me your files. Sorry the program is taking a little longer then I had expected.

I’m also really curious how these mpg files stored within the jpg container. Any hints?

Kind of, I will tell how as soon as I have a proper release.
okay here is one really small hint /b
and I am not talking about the "Rules Of The Internet

"

In case anyone can't wait, the mpg file is simply appended at the end of the jpg file. To split them, open the file in any hex editor, search for "motion" and find the line "MotionPhoto_Data". Save everything after this as a new file to get the mpg, and everything before to get the jpg.

I guessed that would be the case seeing as every other app can open the jpg just fine. But I never followed through with a hex editor. One day when I’m better at programming, I’m thinking about making an app that will extract the mpg and convert it to a gif file so it can be easily shared.

Looking forward to your progress!

I knocked together a ruby script to extract mine, iv just posted it to github for anyone who wants it.

@kitashimakaze yes you are right But you want to search for "MotionPhoto_Data" and the above hex will be the photo and everything below MotionPhoto_Data will be the mpeg. technically the jpg ends at the last 2 characters being ÿÙ and the mpeg starts with "....ftypmp42" As I said earlier I was going to Properly Explain all of this and in detail as soon as I had some thingy easy for the everyday user.
@automattech Thank you I will take a look at this

@automattech Thank you I will take a look at this

No worries, are you thinking about making an android app? Id love to be able to share them as gifs from my phone.

 

[goofwear]

I would love to I have programmed in C# aka C Sharp , but I have not programmed for android. Ideally I would love to make and android app.

 

[goofwear]

I have just release the public beta version 01. Please see the 1st post on page one for the update and link.
Please click the thanks button on the first post and leave a comment.

 

[goofwear]

@xda -developers @xdadevelopers @AdamOutler can you tell me what you guys think too. Thank you very much

 

[fabianfred]

Sorry I must be stupid but I cannot get it to work. I'll have to await your simpler version.

I have just uploaded a how to video on the first post, it is at the bottom , Please watch it in HD 720 and try again. It is actually REALLY EASY to use.

1). Double click convert.bat drop and drag photo into the hex converter and let got, then press ok.

2). wait untill notepadd plus plus open and Select all the text (best way is hold ctrl and press a) this makes sure you get it all. then close the notepad.

3). In HXD click new and then ok then Hold ctrl v to paste all then click file save and as it as a .jpg Repeat steps to save your video & ave as mpg.


Please let me know if this works for you. I have also spent a lot of time to try and make this as simple as possible for every one and automate as much as I could.

This is basically just copy and pasting from one window to another and clicking save (using keyboard short cuts)

 

[goofwear]

I’m also really curious how these mpg files stored within the jpg container. Any hints?

The phone saves the Video to the end of the file and it adds a little bit of meta data at the end of the Jpg file and before the mpg file

is essence it is almost exactly the same as this.

"Appending Binary Files Using the COPY Command"
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/71161
copy /b <source1> + <source2> [....] <targetfile>

normally when extracting the image and video you would delete this meta data but in the program I released I have chosen to leave it at the end of the JPG so you can easy merge them back into 1 file and have it work again as a motion photo on your cell phone. I have mentioned how this is done in the first post in a little more detail.

Sorry for not telling you guys earlier. I wanted to have something to release to show it could be done and before some one else took my idea and beat me to the punch.

Most people do not publicly mention projects they are working on until they have something. I was a little excited and wanted to let people know ahead of the time that I was working on a project.
